I agree with Linus you can not handle pinctrl as bus levell as each driver need different requirement before enabling the pin as example you may need to clock the ip before muxing the pin and invertly on some IP the pinctrl is optionnal, on other mandatory you can not expect every driver to have the same need and requirement yes we will have a few code duplication but today it's few lines and those few lines will be place at different init stage on the drivers ditto for remove or sleep/idle > > Moving this handling to bus code or anywhere else > invariably implies that resource acquisition/release order > does not matter, and my point is that it does. 100% agreed Best Regards, J. > > >> drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-nomadik.c > > > > Don't see pinctrl in linux-next. > > This code is here: > http://marc.info/?l=linux-i2c&m=134986995731695&w=2 > > Yours, > Linus Walleij > _______________________________________________ > devicetree-discuss mailing list > devicetree-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/devicetree-discuss -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
